Senator Allen. Senator Allen said he re-
garded the bill as the most important be-
fore the legislature, or that had ever been
before a Texas Legislature. He called at
tention to Ito Importance. He alluded to
the charge made upon the floor OF the
Senate that II was Just as difficult to run
tle Democratic party without whisky as
to run the Baptist church without
water, and said that it would be
found Impossible to successfully run the
Democratic party without morality, and
Unlimited that the highest typecf civIliza-
ton was based upon religion and moral
ity. Education is necessary to good
government, and the state recognized 1t.
Education should extend to the manners,
and to the heart as well as the mind. We
must have education of the proper kind,
or there is no security 10 our system OF
government. 1t is impossible to make q
useful, good citizen by simply teaching
and cultiyating the mind. We must
teach true manhood. The bill we have
presented is for the purpose of teaching
true manhood in the public free schools.
Manhood is what Texas needs. Manhood
IS what gives security. Many people
possibly will say the bill brings the
church and state too close. Now, sir,
the church and the state N the matter Of
morality are more close than many peO-
pie think. Tle church CO-OIerates with
the state and the state cO-Operates with
the church ia educating the people to q
higher plane of morality and integrity,
aud in this there is 3 close relationship
between the state and the church, yet
they are distinct.
